TRADES UNIONS.

Trades Unions are valuable as means to an end, the means being education, the end emancipation. An ignorant So- cialist may despise and denounce the trade union. but in it the social philoso pher sees an absolutely necessary stage of development in the social evolution Of man. In the life of Labor trades union. ism is the schoolmaster (the pedagogue) who brings labor to the feet of the great teacher (Socialisn) for higher, broader and better instruction. The union gives practical object lessons in organization, in self-reliance, in independence; it has dissected and analysed the boss, the mas ter, the employer, and now the laborer no longer uncovers his h,,ad and bends his knee in the presence of the petty tyrant; he no longer treats him with the obsequious respect and deference of other and more ignorant days. In dissecting the carcass of the capitalist he found it rotten, and now he holds his nose when it passes by.

THE SOCiAllSTlC MODE OF
 PRODUCTION.

Let us suppose there are at present in one of the larger cities one hundred em- ployers who employ four hundred lock- smiths; the one hundred employers spend a great part of their time seeking orders for locksmithing; in doingso one thwarts the purposes of the other, and tries to obtain his customers. When in the shop they spend their time in in giving direc- tions, in preparing estimates. writing letters and making out bills. In short, all of them do hard and necessary work, but the productive work which they per form is really insignificant. Further more, the employers have one hundred fireplaces which occupy great space, and use unnecessarily great amount of fuel.
 Under Socialism there would be but one shop. The money now expended for building the shops, and for the fire places with their bellows, and for the fuel which is wasted, would be sufficient to build one of the most magnificent So- cialistic factories, where all the employ CTS and the four hundred wagemen would meet as cooperative laborers, and have steady and remunerative employment.
 In these different shops there are now a number of tools and a supply of ma chinery which, if these five hundred men worked together, could be reduced to one twenty fifth. And on the other hand, in Socialistic shop, tools and machinery could be introduced which at present not even the richest of the employers is able to procure, or at least will not pro- cure, or at least will not procure because his business is not large enough to make them pay.
 This illustration can be applied to every trade or business. This great saving of capital and labor can be applied to the production of comforts and luxuries for those who are now barely able to secure the necessaries tO sustain life. When you consider this how can you doubt the advantage of the Socialistic mode of pro- ductiOn?

THE ORGANIZED RATS.

The Printers Protective Fraternity" a rat organization of the fungus order, native to the Missouri Valley, and having its headquarters at Kansas City, with 8 branch at Cleveland, is putting on Met ropolitan airs. This disreputable crew has just held national convention at Kansas City, and from the hest informa- ton obtainable there were four delegates in attendance -one each from Kansas City, Cleveland, Topeka and Wilmington, Del. They held their session at night and adjourned at five o'clock next morning, after electing themselves as officers. The Associated Press telegraphs throughout the land the "proceedings' of this insig- nificant hybrid, and pompously pro- claims that it is opposed to strikes. - John Sipinton's Fdper.

THE BOSSES TRICK.

To the WOrknaeas AdrOcdte:
 On the 18th ard 18th inst. the Wam- sutta Mill corporation sent a petition through their several mills asking the help to sign their names thereto praying the Legislature not to alter the present working hours established by law, "As the said petitioners are satisfied with the present law respecting the hours of labor'-at least this is the substance of the petition.
 A large number of the employees doubted the genuineness of this sympa- thetic appeal, and therefore refused to sign the petition, for it occurred to them that their signatures could be used against an eight-hour bill which is to be presented at this season. There was the appearance of fraud, from the fact that the edging was on separate slip of paper from the one of which the names was signed. It was said to the opera tives that the working hours would he changed from one hour dinner time to 45 minutes. That was an influence which made a great many ready to sign. We advise all working people never to sign any petition that emanates from their employers. We further aGyise them never to sign any petition which does not emanate from the working people.

of necessity, no indeed! We appreciate fully every sentiment from the lips or pen of man or woman which tends in the direction of the emancipation of women from the position which she to-day holds in the community. The wants of labor are thronged with women seeking em- ployment, and because there are so many willing hands throbbing to earn an honest living, the employers of such take an unfair advantage of them and pay the merest pittance for services rendered. It is standing disgrace to civilization that women of intelligence far superior to some of the sterner sex should be com pelled to labor for such small remunera- tion after performing the same labor as the man and only receiving half pay. Woman is considered the weaker sex, and yet she bears the heaviest burdens. There cannot be too much written or spoken upon this subject. Where can you find man who will labor diligently ten hours day and then go home and labor until l2 o'clock at night to provide for little family, and yet there are many women in this city who do this. Now and then woman may obtain a good position, but often times (when this is investigated there are hidden reasons why she has been so favored. Is it any wonder that so many women stumble and fall into the snares that sur round them? Women who have earnest thoughts, lofty ideals and noble concep- tions of right and justice. Is it to be wondered at if they grow disheartened with the heavy stress of care laid upon them, feeling their inability to cope with the great evils which yawn to swal
 low them up mentally, morally and physically? If there has been any wedge entered for woman's advancement, let 5 there be nc inertia in the movement, let all noble men and women who have the cause of humanity at heart speak to the point on this question and work for the same, the right adjustment of which will give to woman grander. opportunities, and as you elevate her you elevate the race. See to it then, ye who are the mouthpieces of justice. that you utilize every means to push on the work of hu- manity and reform, and the army of women who are to-day little better than serfs will rise up in their redeemed womanhood and call you blessed.

A UNION MAN.

The New York Union Printer, organ of Typographical Union, No. 6, has the following:
 "A union man is one who surr enders his right as an individual to make an agreement as to wages and conditions with his employer and trusts that right to combination of workers at his trade. A non union man is one who seeks to work at his trade separately from his fellow tradesmen. Unionism is the life sap of springtime; non-unionism is dry rot"
 Better definitions are these: A union man is one who insists that it takes two to make bargain. and who combines with his fellows in order to maintain the equal right of the men with the bosses to fix the rate of wages and other condi- tions of work. The non-union man be- ieves that it only takes one to make LArysm-and that the boss is the one.- Grdnd Rapids Workman.

INJUSTICE TO WOMEN.

While there are many who are sgitat- ing the question of the enfranchisement of woman, there are none more closely Gllied to this question than those who give it the ledsf of their attention.
 The woman who sits in her drawing room with all the accompaniments of ease and culture, may write a very able essay on the elective franchise, but has she been placed in the battle of life for an existence?
 Not that we would disparage any efOrfs made by those who are not pushed into reformatory work by the iron heel

An INNOCENT MAN HANGED.
Conclusive Evidence that Robert i
sprOule Was Not the Murderer.


Some few months ago there was great in
terest in the case of Robert Evan Sproule,
formerly Of Windsor and who has brother
living in that town. who was tried for muir.
der in British Columbia and after short trial
found guilty and sentenced to be hanged.
His conviction was had purely upou circum-
etantiai evidence. After conviction certain
legal objections were raised. one being that
the court which tried him had no jurisdiction.
The provincial supreme court refused this OBJ
jsction and the case anne before the full
bench of the supreme court at Ottawa, when
the objection was held to be good and the dis
charge of the accused was ordered uacOndi-
tionally.
This order the sheriff refused to recognize,
and on the 2Stb of September last, Sproule
was executed IN spite of the proteststion of
Secretary BIyard. Since then Certain evil
dence has come to light which proves that
Sproule was innocent, and a large number of
affdavits to this effect have been furnished.
Frank Sproule, brother of the deceased and
administrator Of his estate. has begun suit at
Ottawa against the province of British
Columbia for the sum Of $50, 900 damages on
account of the illegsl hanging of the accused.
Eminent counsel have been engaged, and il
appears as though the attorney general aud
the sheriff OF that province will soon regret
the hasty and cold boodei action then taken.
One strange thing in connection " it'll the
case is that On the very dav that Sproule was
ex cuted gentleman residing in Boston died
bequeathing him $4,000 This fact was
made known to the prisoner just before he
went on TO the gallows. The mine which
Sproule owned was recently sold for $780,
